interesting. have you by any chance created your own codereview.settings? If so, copy-paste it here. Also, your .git/config if there isn't anything private there :)

Oh, btw i think you actually want to upload your reviews to Gerrit, hence make sure your codereview.settings contains:

GERRIT_HOST: chromium-review.googlesource.com

.gitconfig:
[http]
        cookiefile = /usr/local/google/home/emso/.gitcookies
[alias]
        st = status
        ci = commit
        br = branch
        co = checkout
[user]
        email = emso@chromium.org
[diff]
        tool = meld

codereview.settings:
GERRIT_HOST: true

I'll try to update the latter.

> GERRIT_HOST: true
this is also good enough.

wait, you gave me global gitconfig. I need local one from the repo itself:
.git/config, not ~/.gitconfig.

Same error with the change.

Good news: i can repro this trivially. Looking.
